The Break Room

The concept revolves around depicting break in different ways: there is a man and a woman sculpture that appears to punch through the columns depicting a breakthrough, graffiti depicting break out, and various caricatures and graphics depicting break even or break up - all with a hint of humour.

The Break Room

The project focuses on recycling , upscaling and art, using a wide range of upscaled products such as oil drums for the bar counter, scrap metal for screens, packing and discarded wooden strips for various details. Strong, triangular graphics and shapes tie up the entire design together. Focal elements include a turquoise blue entrance door, and sculptures made of fibre and designed in triangular cuts and planes.

The central area flooring and ceiling resonate with one another in a triangular mosaic design; while the flooring is detailed in tiles, the ceiling has a distressed wood finish. The ceiling member thickness has been kept to a minimum and infused with mirrors to negate the low height of the space. Incandescent bulbs create further reflectivity and their dimmability provides a mood-lit effect. A grill in metal with mirror details adds character to the glass walls of the restaurant.

Painted oil drums in different colours hold together the long bar and the backdrop has triangular shelves with lighting. The toilets have tiles in the herringbone pattern and the under counters have painted drum bases.
